Yippee!!!! The weekend is almost here!  Before we head out we have to roundup all the cool skins from WinCustomize from this past week.  Definitely see some wallpapers and WindowBlinds skins made it in, along with a bunch of others to check out.  If you didn’t have time to go through the skins this week, take a look at the TWiS roundup.

Check out This Week in Skinning!

On Friday, March 5th, WinCustomize will undergo scheduled maintenance between 9am and Noon EST. During this time the site might be unavailable for periods of time. We will post an update when the maintenance is complete.

Thanks for your patience, and sorry for any inconvenience.

Update:

Things should be all back to normal.

The past week or so has been a good one for WindowBlinds skins, and it shouldn’t be hard to find one that really fits the look you are trying to achieve for your desktop.  Here are some of the latest WindowBlinds skins that I recommend you take a look at!

Stardock has released Multiplicity v1.24 and Multiplicity Pro 1.24.  Multiplicity is a program that lets users to combine their computers into a single computing platform. It does this by enabling users to control their local computers with a single keyboard and mouse and establishing a universal clipboard between them.  If you've ever used multiple monitors, think of Multiplicity as being the next step.  Each monitor is hooked up to its own computer and when you move your mouse cursor onto a different monitor, you now control the computer that the monitor is connected to.

Features of Multiplicity include:

• Clip and Paste - Share your clipboard contents among your master and slave computers, including images!
• File and Directory Copying - Easily move files, or entire directories between computers! (Pro Version)
• Hotkey Support - Multiplicity supports fast switching to the connected computers via configurable hotkeys and mouse buttons!
• Fade/Darken Indicator - Multiplicity can fade or darken the non-focus computers, to further enhance navigation speed.
• Onscreen Display - Multiplicity can be configured to display an onscreen indicator of your current location.

The v1.24 update includes performance and compatibility improvements for Windows 7 and 64-bit operating systems.  Current users can upgrade via Stardock’s Impulse.  A free trial and more information can be found at www.multiplicity.net.

A new brings several things, and first up we have the latest desktop screenshot thread open on the WinCustomize.com forums.  Take a screenshot of your current desktop and show others what skins and themes you are using.

Well a little late, but not entire forgotten!  This week is already starting off crazy busy, so lets just jump right in to some featured skin picks from the past few days.

We are winding down another week, and another month, so say “so long” to February!  It is time once again to highlight some of the cool skins and themes that have made their way into the WinCustomize galleries this week, and we have some great stars this week.

Check out This Week in Skinning for February 26th!

It’s been a while since we did the last WC Member Spotlight, and I believe this is the first one of 2010.  With that, we kick it off again with a WinCustomize veteran and Master Skinner.  Going back to nearly the beginning of WC, BoXXi has been a member since 2001, and has really done so much for the skinning community as a whole, that I really wouldn’t know where to start.  I can just sum it up by saying he is one of the most valued members of the WC and skinning community, and we appreciate all his hard work over the years.

Looking through all 31 pages of his gallery, I see this is the first WC submission, although he could verify if this was the *very* first.

So when you have a few moments, browse through his gallery and check out all the great works!

The mid-week hump is here, and to spread some joy into your day I did a quick pass through the Wallpaper gallery and picked some of my recent favorites to share with you.

Enjoy!
